EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 is the square displacement of the fixed initial step.
a(2) = 16, because one of the A010575(2)/8 = 7 end points is (2,0,0,0) with square distance 4 and the other 6 end points (1,-1,0,0), (1,1,0,0), (1,0,-1,0), (1,0,1,0), (1,0,0,-1), (1,0,0,1) all have square distance 2. 16 = 1*4 + 6*2.
a(3) = 177, because there are 6 end points with square distance 1, e.g., (0,1,0,0), 24 end points with square distance 3, e.g., (1,1,1,0), 18 end points with square distance 5, e.g., (2,1,0,0), and 1 end point with square distance 9, (3,0,0,0). 177 = 6*1 + 24*3 + 18*5 + 1*9.
